Chen Mo was not refining a Magic Tool for the first time.
The Green Jade Sword had been his first, so he had some experience to draw on.
Moreover, after absorbing the Spiritual Sense of that old ghost from years ago at the Underground Dark Lake, his knowledge of Artifact Refining had naturally been greatly supplemented.
However, this time was different from refining Magic Tools before. The previous Magic Tools had all been ownerless, making them far easier to refine. Besides, the Magic Tools he had refined before had been relatively low-grade. The Golden Armguard, on the other hand, was such a High Stage Magic Tool, one used by a cultivator above the Tribulation Crossing Realm. One could imagine how much effort it would take to refine it successfully.
Fortunately, Zu Liming had gone before him, allowing Chen Mo to avoid many pitfalls.
Thus, although his Spiritual Sense entered the Golden Armguard, it was only a tiny thread! More than that, that tiny thread was merely there to scout the way.
Chen Mo had also set up a layer of protection. As long as that thread encountered a massive Spiritual Sense attack, it would sever itself at once—cutting off the tail to survive, abandoning that bit of Spiritual Sense to preserve his Spiritual Sea.
There was no helping it. This was simply Chen Mo being cautious. As a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm, trying to claim a Magic Tool belonging to someone above the Tribulation Crossing Realm, he had to be careful beyond careful.
He truly admired that fellow Zu Liming to death. The man had nerves of steel, actually daring to refine the Golden Armguard without a care!
One had to know that refining a Magic Tool required the use of Mental Power.
